Summary

Managing PTSD is easier said than done, but it must never define who we really are. US Army veteran-turned-psychotherapist Benoit Kim is here to discuss how psychedelics overcome trauma – albeit carefully and responsibly. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he explains how to get rid of the stigma surrounding psychedelics and why opening your mind through these substances is largely beneficial for your mental health. Benoit also breaks down the right way to consume psychedelics to extract the most benefits out of it and why you need a qualified guide when taking them to avoid encountering more trauma along your healing journey.
